Ionizing Air Knife Long Range Static Elimination up to 20 feet (6 meters)
With a Model 55000 Series Ionizing Bar attached to an AiRTX Air Knife, you can deliver static-neutralizing ions to a target at distances up to 20 ft.(6 m). It’s ideal for web/sheet stock, conveyorized product, extrusions, or arrangement in halo shape to wrap your product in ionized air. Quiet, maintenance-free and a miser with compressed air, the knife is available in all standard knife lengths or (optionally) in custom lengths.
All Air Knives are available with effective length of
3" (76 mm), 6" (152 mm), 12" (305 mm), 18" (457 mm), 24" (610 mm), 30" (762 mm), 36" (914 mm), 42" (1067 mm), 48" (1219 mm)
Overall length is 1" longer than effective length
Last 2-digits of 85012 Air Knife indicates the effective length.
Sample: Model 85012 is 12" long

What Causes Static Electricity?
| Why AiRTX Ionizing Product to Eliminate Static?
Ionizing Air Knives Technical Data
| The AiRTX Air Knife provides a smooth laminar flow of air which doesn't have the turbulence of fan-driven air and can carry positive and negative ions up to 20 feet from the bar and provide neutralization within the 2 second lifetime of the ions. The turbulence created by a fan causes the ions to bump into each other, so that the distance of ionization is reduced to 10" - 12".
The last digit of the part number indicates the effective length of the unit.
Sample: Model 55012 Ionizing Bar is 12" long.

 | Installing Ionizing Bars
Correct Positioning is Vital to the Efficient Operation of Static Elimination Bars.
Factors to be considered are:
- Correct positioning relative to the problem, i.e., immediately before problem area, with no intermediary rollers or processes which could regenerate the charge.
- Speed of material—higher speeds require more static elimination.
- Conductivity and density of material. The less conductive or more dense (molecularly) the material, the more stubborn will be the charge.
- Grounding—vitally important to the correct operation of bars. They will not function and will become "live" if not properly grounded.
|
 |
The Following Rules Should Be Observed When Installing AiRTX Ionizing Bars
- Optimal Distance from material to be neutralized is 2" - 4"
- Bars should be staggered if positioned on opposite sides of the material—distance between bars should not be less than the distance of either bar to surface (2" - 4")
- Avoid proximity to grounded parts of the machine – Grounded objects will distort the corona and reduce its efficiency.
- CAUTION: This equipment is NOT to be used in hazardous vapor areas.

Industrial Solutions for Air Knives
Electronics
|
|
|
Ionizing Air Knives arranges in a halo configuration, quickly
neutralize static, then remove lint and dust from these PC Housings,
improving handling and appearance. |
Packaging
|
|
|
Static was causing packaging jams and wasted valuable production
time, until two Model 55412 Ionizing Air Knives were installed in
this heat sealing process. Low pressure, ionized air eliminates the
static charge and allows greatly increased line speed.
|
Food Processing |
|
|
Static build-up on the plastic roll on this food packaging machine
slowed production speed and caused shocks to employees. The Ionizing
Air Knife can stop this problem in all types of plastic and paper
roll or sheet stock. |
Uses for AiRTX Ionizing Air Knives
- PC board cleaning
- Automatic feeder
- Sheet cleaning
- Facia cleaning before painting
- Blow molding
- Debris removal
- Injection molding
- Parts cleaning
- Web handling

Frequently Asked QuestionsIonizing Air Knife
How do you mount the Ionizing Air Knife?
If you use a hard pipe to supply the compressed air to the Bar, the pipe will support
the Air Knife and provide direction of the air to carry the ions to the static problem.
How much air pressure is needed?
20 to 30 psi is all that is needed to carry the positive and negative ions to the
static location. You can use more pressure as if it is necessary to blow away debris
once the static bond is neutralized.
